What I do:

A big “Thank You” to everyone in my NetworkMost of what I ‘know’ you have given to me.

Listening, Reading & Watching = Copying

The value of Music is no longer (just) in the Copy
Selling ‘units’ is yesterday’s concern - and so is the
definition of a ‘Sale’Trying to maintain total control of distribution is
pointless

Yet, in Music we are approaching total Copyright Gridlock

This is a very bad idea

Because...

What does this remind you of?“France's Ministry of Culture estimates that 1,000 people a day could be cut off from
the internet under the bill. After first being sent a warning email and then a formal letter by Hadopi, those accused of illegal file- sharing for a third time could be
disconnected for up to a year and face a €300,000 fine and jail time. Even those found guilty of "negligence" for allowing others (such as their children) to pirate online
material risk a month-long internet suspension and a €1,500 fine..."

Let’s not confuse things

200 Million users seems entirely realistic20 songs per day =
4 Billion plays per day @ 1 Cent USD$40 Million PER DAY in license fees for the masters
14.6 BILLION USD per year in licensing costsPlus: costs for Public Performance in 50+ countries
Plus: payments to composersPlus: technical costs = 50% of Google’s yearly $$
Why this can’t possibly work
20
And this is not a unique problem
21
A market-driven solution is very unlikely

22
Private deals for public services?What choice did they have?
How much control does this leave them?Is this ‘fair business practice’?
But it gets worse
22
A market-driven solution is very unlikely"In parallel, the two companies will be working together to protect Universal Music's intellectual property and drive a material reduction in the unauthorised distribution of its repertoire across Virgin Media's network," said a statement.

“A new Social Contract”
2424
What would this look like?
First, legalize it - give permissionAll use - all pay * or otherwise generate $ value
Many kinds of payments emergeRights are public, open and standardizedLicenses are available to every business
Data-Mining and Market Access is $ value, too
2525
Public License + Build-in Revenues
+ Proportional Distribution

Where will that Euro / Week come from?

With a new Internet Music
License we don’t just sell something - we also buy something!
28
A new and very lucrative Ecosystem would emerge
Flat Rates, Bundles, Revenue-Sharing
Live-Concerts, Web-Casts, Virtual Shows...
Mobile Device Applications & Software
High Definition & Premium Media
Community Premium Services
Many other New Generatives
Permission

We don’t pay to eat all the food... we pay for access

If we had a public music license, this would already be money in the bank!

So why is there still so little revenue from Youtube, Myspace, Facebook...?
33
• Advertisers are always 2-3 years behind• Lack of permission for legal content has
resulted in much slower adoption• Lack of public license has deterred new
investors• Mobile broadband and smart mobile
devices are just now starting to take off

And this would become a huge business, too

With a public music license, the Longtail & Success in the Niches becomes very real, too

License for the use of Music online

web-native revenue streams
